Academy (PGPA) is the first training academy of its kind in the private equity
industry and will offer world-class training in operational excellence.
The PGPA will be based on a detailed curriculum developed jointly by Partners

leadership, transformation management and self-development. Partners Group and

increasing the operational maturity level in participating portfolio companies
while accelerating their global growth. At the same time, the PGPA will
support the retention of top talent while fostering collaboration and
knowledge transfer within and across the companies in Partners Group's
portfolio.

extremely excited to be launching the Partners Group Performance Academy with
the support of Harvard Business Publishing. I firmly believe that this
initiative will make a substantial difference for the development of many of
our portfolio companies and ultimately help us generate superior returns for
the benefit of our clients and their over 100 million beneficiaries."
Fredrik Henzler, Managing Director and Co-Head Industry Value Creation, adds
"We believe this program will create a learning culture within our portfolio
companies and ultimately inspire executives to develop and implement a global
